who heard the case, found that Mohammed Ali, who repeatedly denied raping Nonoi and insisted that Nonoi died an accidental death, had intentionally immersed his stepdaughter in water and these immersions led to the victim's death, and hence he was guilty of the crime of murder.

Both men appealed, but in May 2011, it would end with only Kho losing his appeal and his death sentence upheld by the higher courts while Galing, on the other hand,
